Training Log: Entry 751

ME lower

Box squats
Barx10
135x5
225x3
275x1
315x1
365x1
405x1
485x1 (20lb PR)
485x1
435x1

Notes: Wanted to try for 500 today, but I'll take a 20lb PR.  Found I can actually hold the bar even lower on my back, but it caues some pain in my hips, so I'm sticking with slightly higher bar placement.  I think I may rotate in some high box work just to get by body used to 500+.  I lost a lot of energy on the set-up for the 435, was planning to hit multiple reps there.

SSB box squats of 295
3x5

Notes: Love this movement.  Focused on keeping upright the entire time.  Have forgot to log that I'm doing all these without a belt to work on my core.

RDLs of 225
12,11,10,5

Notes: Weight pulls a lot on my shoulders, hard to keep the sets going.  Focusing on sticking my butt out, and really frying my hamstrings.  Played around with shoulders in front of vs. behind the bar, and behind definitely allows a better arch and more mechanical advantage.

Band side bends w/light
1x15

  1. Awesome squats, dude. A 500 squat would be a major milestone.
